President Barack Obama speaks about the economy at the Turner-Fairbank Highway Research Center in McLean, Virginia. President Barack Obama envisions a time when cars will be able to talk with other cars or with America’s roads. He says such technology could prevent crashes, cut down on traffic and save gasoline.

Nena, I believe you misunderstood the tweet or maybe the article. This is not about removing taxes from online purchases and leaving in place taxes that come from buying a product in person at a store. It is about making sure that access to the internet isn’t taxed. 7 states were taxing millions of people for access to the internet and this bill removes the taxes that were added in addition to your monthly internet service bill.

But all this transfer talk is filling the gap nicely, I refresh The Guardian football page at least three times a minute, every minute – keep expecting to see ‘LOUIS LANDS LIONEL!’, or something similar.

Her beef is with Billy Joel's singing abilities. I respect her views, but I disagree 1001%, for Bill Joel's songwriting abilities are legendary…… 😉 . Note, I didn't say one peep on his Vocal strengths.

Tennesee VW plant employing 2,000 new workers in Chatanooga to build a mid-size SUV is great in several ways.
First 2000 new paychecks mean 2,000 families with more money in their posckets and perhaps 20,000 businesses in the surrounding neighborhoods seeing a significant uptick in their revenues and bottom lines, possibly requiring additonal hiring. The Virtuous Circle.

Also UAW and the local 92 has found a way around the Supreme Court. They are organizing to speak for the workers without obligatory dues collection.

Seems like a bright and sunshiny day in TN. Wave of the future, maybe?

You can pretty much get a ham sandwich onto the California ballot. I wouldn’t be too worried. Remember, an initiative to eviscerate unions made it to the ballot in 2012 and went down to decisive defeat.

There’s a war over birth control brewing in the Senate, and Republican lawmakers want to make it clear that the GOP is on the right side.
On Tuesday, after Senate Democrats introduced a measure to override the Supreme Court’s recent ruling on Hobby Lobby and clarify that for-profit companies must offer contraceptive coverage, their Republican colleagues announced some forthcoming legislation of their own. As the Hill reports, GOP leadership will introduce a bill that appears to be supportive of women’s access to birth control.
“We plan to introduce legislation this week that says no employer can block any employee from legal access to her FDA-approved contraceptives,” Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) said. “There’s no disagreement on that fundamental point.”
If the final bill is along the lines of the initial reports, however, the GOP’s competing legislation likely wouldn’t do anything to change the status quo or ensure that Hobby Lobby employees have insurance coverage for contraception. Instead, it’s simply a way for Republicans to reinforce the point that the high court’s ruling on Hobby Lobby doesn’t inhibit women’s legal access to birth control.
The fact that women are still allowed to purchase every type of FDA-approved birth control has become the central argument used to downplay the impact of the Hobby Lobby case. Of course, it’s certainly true. Contraception remains legal, and the decision to allow some for-profit companies to refuse to cover some types of birth control on religious grounds doesn’t mean that all IUDs, for example, are now banned.
But legality isn’t exactly the same as accessibility. And the Hobby Lobby case was about the latter.

It is Constitutional if they get the people to buy in on this in 2016…..then their state would start the process and seek for these states to join the USA……through a Constitutional Legal Process.

We have NC and SC. We have ND and SD. There are kind of 2 VAs: VA and WVa. Puerto Rico can be a state, just like Hawaii is the 50th state. It will require an act of Congress and the 2/3 of the other USA giving their OK.

This is funny, but if you are an earnest follower of FOX News and the rest of the media, you would in fact believe that PBO was running in 2016. And not only that, but even Dems are running against him. Based on media reports…

{It’s a pet peeve of mine that journos (who are well-paid) are always asking/expecting the public to do their work for them. For all we know they have their feet up, relaxing, while others bring issues forward. No wonder they can rarely dispute false or partisan garbage – they haven’t gone DEEP enough themselves! Instead they sit in each interview listening and or grinning like idiots, waiting to ask the next time-killing question and not knowing how to follow-up intelligently.. Makes me mad, it does!}

Former punter Chris Kluwe will sue the Minnesota Vikings over his release from the team last year in hopes of getting the club to publicly unveil the findings of an investigation into the matter. Kluwe and his attorney, Clayton Halunen, made the announcement at a media conference Tuesday.

Halunen said the lawsuit will allege religious discrimination, sexual orientation discrimination, defamation and tortious interference with contractual obligations, resulting in Kluwe’s release from the team in May 2013 after what he says was a pattern of intolerant language by special teams coordinator Mike Priefer related to Kluwe’s activism on gay marriage.

The media conference was called after Halunen received word Monday from the Vikings that they had “no intent” to release the report to Kluwe’s side or the public. Halunen strongly suggested its release would prompt the lawsuit to be dropped.

“We would like to resolve this out of court if we can,” Halunen told reporters.

Thanks,Sabreen60. Leader Pelosi is speaking now. Amend the Constitution…….I am in support of this. How to get the grassroots energized on this and to get a Huge movement is the key. The Corporate media makes way too much money from false advertisement to bother to care.
